A few minutes before the service was to start, Brother Booker happened to look back my way and make eye contact with me. I nearly passed out. 
I was convinced he saw into the depths of my sinful soul...I became so ill that I vomited and had to leave the service and go home before he ever got up to preach.
I repented and got my heart right anyway, and didn't even hear the message. |
You know, it was times like that I remember, it wasn't soo easy to walk out on God........................ It was a struggle to make that decision...I am glad I never did. Even in a backslidden state, my soul cried out and longed for those intimate times with God.... I don't understand how people just walk out. God's been too good. Just too good...I've been hurt, I've had rough times. Saints have lied on me and turned away, but GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN FAITHFUL. When you've walked with God, been in deep places with Him, you don't want to leave........but complacentcy (sp) and time tend to sneak up on you.....
BTW thanks steadfast for this thread.......
